About FoodMayhem

In the chaotic kitchen of a recipe developer, you get a food blog called FoodMayhem.

I'm Jessica, an Asian-American, born and raised in NYC, and that's Lon, my Jewish, white husband. While professionally trained as a French culinary- and pastry chef, many of FoodMayhem recipes are my attempt to preserve and share authentic Chinese and Taiwanese recipes learned from my mom. We don't eat Chinese food every day, so you'll get a little bit of anything we find delicious enough to share: from our Eastern European side; recipes and techniques learned from my restaurant days; restaurant reviews, food travel tips; and a few other juicy bits along the way. Welcome to FoodMayhem!

Recipes that include parnsip

Friday, February 5, 2010

As much as I love the concept of being a locavore, you couldn’t possibly get a healthy amount of nutrients during winter in New York as a locavore. So while I try to buy what I can from our local farmer’s market, I can’t live on just apples, potatoes, and parsnips. I do end up eating more of these in winter though. With just about three things available, you can’t afford to not use any one of them, and I realized that a few friends of mine are still not familiar with parsnip.
